In the poem “Have You Got a Brook in Your Little Heart” the author uses a calm tone that makes the reader enjoy it that much more. Shadows cannot tremble like people can, so this is a fine example of personification. The last example is “shadows tremble so–“. People blush when they feel a certain emotion, but birds do not exactly have the mental capacity to have those emotions.
Bashful is a term that means shy, and flowers do not have emotions so therefore they are incapable of feeling shy. In stanza 1 there are 3 different examples of personification. Personification is fairly popular in children’s poems, but this poem is an example of how the technique is not only meant for kids. Personification is the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form. Why, look out for the little brook in March,Īnd the snows come hurrying from the fills, Have you got a Brook in your little heart, Personification: the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form.
